This guy's music reminds me a little bit of David Bazan's, both in its musical style and its lyrical content.  There are also similarities to one of my more recent discoveries, Work Friend.  The music has a slight western-sounding twang, with prominent guitar riffs.  There's a nice range of moods to the songs, although overall I would describe the style as somewhat "apocalyptic".  The New York singer-songwriter (who has evidently been involved in some other bands that I've never heard of over the last 15 years) released four songs from his 2016 "Empire" record on noisetrade a few months ago, and I enjoyed them enough to download them.
